Unlike acquisition of land under the Land Acquisition Act, land acquired under the NHAI Act cannot be challenged in court

GURGAON: It will take National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) a month and a half to acquire 24.03 hectares of land in the Bijwasan and Bamnoli areas of the capital to construct the incomplete 1km portion of the Dwarka expressway in Delhi. The authority issued a notification under the NHAI Act to ensure the process is completed without any hassle.

Unlike acquisition of land under the Land Acquisition Act, land acquired under the NHAI Act cannot be challenged in court.

Of the 4km of Dwarka expressway that is incomplete, from Urban Extension Road II (UER-II) passing through Dwarka Sector 26 in Delhi till Sector 111 in Gurgaon, 3km is on Delhi Development Authority (DDA) land, while the remaining 1km, which is private land, has to be acquired by NHAI.

To build this road, NHAI will acquire 24.03 hectares in Bijwasan and Bamnoli.

“We have identified the land and hope to complete acquisition at the earliest,” said NHAI project director Ashok Sharma.

The proposed 150m-wide Dwarka-Palam Vihar link, also known as Northern Peripheral Road or Dwarka expressway, which connects Dwarka in Delhi and NH-8 in Gurgaon, was envisaged 10 years ago and was to be ready before the Commonwealth Games 2010. The 27km-long road — 18km in Gurgaon and 9km in Delhi — has already missed six deadlines.

The detailed project report for the Delhi portion of the expressway is being prepared by NHAI through consultant AECOM.

NEW DELHI: Home buyers and investors in residential and commercial projects across Dwarka Expressway in Gurgaon have moved Punjab & Haryana High Court for early completion of the expressway.

DXP Welfare Association representing home buyers and investors from over 20 projects has filed the civil writ petition on February 16 against Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA), National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and Department of Town & Country Planning (DTCP), Haryana.

The association has demanded the overall status of external development charges (EDC) and infrastructure development charges (IDC) collection from DTCP for the development of basic infrastructure like water, electricity, sewage system, etc, across Dwarka Expressway in the sectors of new Gurgaon such as Sector 37 and Sector 81 to 115.

“The major demand of association from HUDA and NHAI is time-bound completion plan under court monitoring panel for early completion of Dwarka Expressway Road which has been delayed by more than eight years,” Yashesh Yadav, president, DXP Welfare Association.

The court also issued notices in the matter to the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, HUDA, NHAI and DTCP after hearing the submissions, according to Amish Tandan, the lawyer appearing on behalf of the association.

Dwarka Expressway or Northern Peripheral Road, proposed in 2009, was to be completed by March 31, 2012, but got delayed due to land acquisition issues. The 18-km long expressway has 14 km falling under Gurugram and remaining 4 km under Delhi.

HUDA had allotted 269 plots to expressway oustees through draw of lots between July and August last year, which included 60 general power of attorney (GPA) and special power of attorney (SPA) holders from a pool of 465 applicants.

However, the Punjab and Haryana High Court in October stayed the issue of allotment letters to oustees, who did not have original title deeds in October, while hearing a petition filed by Satyendra Singh, one of the oustees. The court in November then sought all documents including the GPAs/SPAs on the basis of which allotment was made.

HUDA has now filed the early petition in GPA, SPA case. NHAI on its part has started the land acquisition process to construct the incomplete portion of the Dwarka expressway in Delhi.

In March last year, union transport minister Nitin Gadkari had also accorded national highway status to the Dwarka Expressway stretch.

National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has begun the first of the three-phase construction of the underpass at the junction, that connects the highway with Huda City Centre.

GURUGRAM: Construction on the two-way, four-lane underpass on the Delhi-Gurgaon expressway at Signature Tower junction, began earlier this month. It will connect the new and old Gurgaon and is expected to decongest the busy junction.

National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has begun the first of the three-phase construction of the underpass at the junction, that connects the highway with Huda City Centre. This phase involves widening the road. The tunnel will be dug in the second phase, and the construction of the underpass will be the final stage.

On the Delhi-Jaipur side, the expressway will be widened between Gymkhana Club and the service roads near Iffco Chowk and DLF Star Mall. On the Jaipur-Delhi stretch, the widening will take place between Maharana Pratap Chowk up to the service lanes at the 32nd Milestone hotel and Iffco Chowk. The carriageways need to be widened as the four-lane underpass will require extra road on the sides for the traffic to exit to and from the highway. Only those vehicles which want to cross the expressway between old and new Gurgaon will use the underpass.

It will start from near Huda City Centre and end near Maharana Pratap Chowk on old Delhi-Gurgaon road. The tunnel will bifurcate between HeroMotoCorp Traffic Safety Park and Management Development Institute.

The project’s highlight includes a track for non-motorised transport, such as bicycles, and for pedestrians. “It is going to cost Rs 200 crore. This is the first of three junctions — Rajiv Chowk, Iffco Chowk and Signature Towers — where underpasses have been sanctioned,” said Ashok Sharma, project director, NHAI.
